Symphonic psychadelic jazz rock?

David Axelrod is a composer and producer who became well known for producing, arranging, composing for artists like Lou Rawls, Cannonball Adderly, and the Electric Prunes. In the late 60's he recorded his first solo album, Song of Innocence. This concept album was an instrumental suite comprised of 7 songs, all influenced heavily by the poetry of William Blake. The foundation of the sound is distinctly two seemingly seperate worlds: drum and bass, ala breakbeats and rock rhythms; and dense, complex orchestral harmonies, with a little effected out guitar thrown in for good measure. The sound was unlike anything of it's time. It's heavily psyched out, with disjunct harmonies and echoed drum beats. Critics raved over it, although it's uncertain how successful it was when it was originally released in 1968 - it was very different at the time. Supposedly some critics said it was inspired by the Beatles Sgt peppers album, although my own ears hear many differences that outweigh the similarities. Over the decades since it's release it has become a timeless piece of rock-art, and has been sampled by droves of DJ's and electronica-heads. Especially the song Holy Thursday.
